Comedy Shows Revenues
A financier whose specialty is investing in comedy shows has observed that,in general,shows with "big-name" stars seem to generate more revenue than those shows whose stars are less well known.To examine his belief he records the gross revenue and the payment (in $ millions)given to the two highest-paid comedians in the show for ten recently staged shows.
Show Cost of Twa Highest Paid Comedian ( \mil ) Gross Revenue () 1 5.3 48 2 7.2 65 3 1.3 18 4 1.8 20 5 3.5 31 6 2.6 26 7 8.0 73 8 2.4 23 9 4.5 39 10 6.7 58
